The Toaster

Formed on the Lower East Side of NYC
in 1981 the band is the longest running US SKA formation. They bridge the gap
between England's 2-Tone movement and the American Ska explosion of the 90's
which they are rightfully credited with starting. During the 3rd Wave Ska
revival The Toasters formed the famous Moon Records label and kick-started the
careers of dozens of bands. The Toasters are to ska in America the 1980s and
beyond what The Specials were to ska in the U.K. in the late '70s and early
'80s, and what the Skatalites were to ska in Jamaica in the 1960s. The Toasters
were innovators, creators, shapers of the music, evolving it in a fresh
direction, blending it with the cultural influences in a very American manner.
